Building an Alumni Community
I have just taken over the student services position at my school (I had previously been in Financial Aid). One thing we have trouble with is staying in touch with grads.
I would like to begin building an Alumni Community for our grads. We already have a facebook page, but it gets VERY LITTLE traffic.
Any other suggestions to jumpstart a program for Alumni?
Kerry,
Good question. An alumni community can increase enrollment, retention, and of course placement. Of great importance is that you have a way to have the current contact info for your grads. In fact - grads want to stay in touch because they like the connection to their school and all it continues to offer them. There is a great MaxKnowledge course on building Alumni Communities. It's like a recipe book with all the how-to's and ways to deal with challenges. Thanks
